Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who is struggling with physical pain following multiple surgeries and accidents. He explains that pain is an inevitable and necessary accompaniment of human life, noting that even the act of being born involves immense pain. He emphasizes that the expectation of a painless life is a false concept often promoted by modern advertising, whereas spiritual traditions and figures like the Buddha have always acknowledged that life is inherently characterized by suffering and pain. He suggests that the greatest fortune, as stated by Bodhidharma, would be to not be born at all, but since one is born, pain must be accepted gracefully. Acharya Prashant distinguishes between pain and suffering, defining suffering as the ignorant and nonsensical resistance to pain. He argues that when one identifies with the idea that life should be painless, the arrival of pain causes shock and resentment, leading to suffering. He encourages the questioner to live through pain like a champion or a great athlete, such as Roger Federer or Ashish Nehra, who continue to play and perform despite physical agony. He posits that there is a unique delight in playing through pain and that true beauty lies in being able to smile through tears. He further explains that humans are biologically designed both to experience pain and to resist it, which creates a 'double whammy' of suffering. To transcend this, one must develop enough depth to soak in and embrace pain rather than resisting it. By accepting pain as a legitimate part of existence, one ceases to be a 'normal' human driven by the avoidance of discomfort. This shift in perspective allows an individual to experience a form of delight that is unavailable to those who are constantly running away from pain. He concludes that embracing pain is the path to relief and a more grounded, authentic way of living.
